“The drone shots over the lake in Boschendal were a favourite, the images Sequel captured of the entirety of the estate were great!”
- Matt Stevens, Managing Director, Boschendal
An indescribably beautiful wellness retreat in the heart of Franschhoek, South Africa.
Boschendal represents farm living at its finest; the estate is exploding with character and vast areas of natural beauty. Sequel visited Boschendal in partnership with la suíte, the Luxury Lifestyle publication, to capture the magnificent estate. We curated a series of travel and wellness focused editorial imagery and video content which was published in the magazine.
The epitome of a working farm, all the food & wine is grown and harvested across a staggering 4000 acres of land. Scattered throughout the grounds you’ll find characterful country style cottages and safari style tents.
With sustainability at the heart of everything they do, it was important we captured the earthly and wholesome elements of the estate. As well as a working farm, vineyards, cellars, deli and butchery and dedicated picnic areas, there are also secluded residencies scattered throughout the spanning terroir. The eco-tents which are at set the foot of the mountain, are idyllic for those looking to have a digital detox and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and the tranquillity of their surroundings.
The freshwater dams for swimming are one of the most breathtaking features at Boschendal; we used drone footage to capture the incredible depths and reach of the dam.
There is a host of activities available to guests to reconnect with Mother Nature, from sunrise hikes up Silver Mountain, Sunset Horse Riding and a vast 60km of mountain biking track. The freshwater dams for swimming are one of the most breathtaking features at Boschendal; we used drone footage to capture the incredible depths and reach of the dam. The water is so clean you can wash your plums, picked from the adjacent field - country living at its finest.
